Exciting and Helpful Technology You Didn’t Know Your Business Needed

Just as it has changed nearly everything in our world over the last few years, technology has changed how businesses operate. Social media has turned marketing on it’s head, analytics have allowed us to know everything about our clients and so much more.

However, those are far from the only types of tools and technology that can help a business to succeed. There are plenty other tools that don’t get as much attention as analytics, social media or CRMs, but can be just as helpful in making a company succeed.

With that in mind, this article is going to look at a few underrated pieces of technology or software that could potentially have a huge impact on your business.

Monitoring Tools

As you are aware, businesses use a wide variety of different systems and software to run their day to day operations. In fact, a large portion of companies rely on technology and if it stops working or crashes, they would find themselves in some big trouble. While some failures or outages are unavoidable, using monitoring tools can help them occur less frequently.

Monitoring systems are in control of the technology used by a company and will analyze and manage their operations. These can help detect errors, get alerts on important events and in the case of a configuration monitoring tool, can help you easily and clearly see the changes or updates that are occurring within your system.

Project Management Software

Project management is one of the most important aspects when it comes to the productivity of a company. If you are unable to successfully manage an keep track of projects, they are likely to fall behind schedule and people can easily become confused about what they are supposed to be doing. In a traditional sense, this would involve a ton of meeting and lots of paper and files being shared from person to person.

Thankfully, project management apps and software have taken the entire process digitally, saving a lot of time and energy. This type of software can also be incredibly helpful for companies who allow telecommuting or feature many remote workers. Apps like Slack, Trello, Asana and others can help connect people from all over the globe in one place where they can work, communicate, track projects and more. These tools definitely make project management much more efficient and workflow more streamlined than ever before.

Email Management Software

While email is a decently old technology, at least by today’s standards, it would be foolish to write it off completely. It is estimated that multiple billions of people around the world use email and it is still one of the best ways to market and reach out to potential customers or individuals interested in your product, service or company.

But instead of handling all of your emails yourself and spending multiple hours a day reading and responding to them, why not use an email management software? Email management software can help your company or employees manage incredibly large volumes of email. It does this by helping organize all emails to help you track and respond to important ones easier, as well as helping with spam reduction.

If you get a ton of emails every day, a tool or system like this in place could save you a ton of time and will make sure you’re only spending as much time in your inbox as you need.

Hopefully this article was able to help you discover some new and exciting technology that could potentially benefit your business. Most of these are also relatively affordable and should more than pay for themselves by how much efficiency and time your company is able to save.
